Seven of the last eight goals scored by Chelsea loanees have come from those stationed in the Eredivisie, with two more of those arriving this weekend. Marco van Ginkel added to a prolific tally at PSV on Saturday whilst Todd Kane grabbed his first goal for NEC Nijmegen on Sunday. Headliners Kane has had a wonderful season on loan at Nijmegen, just a twenty minute journey down the road from…
It was a weekend of free-kicks from the Eredivisie as club football returned from the latest international break. Marco van Ginkel and Lewis Baker each scored a dead-ball effort to kick off the latest edition of the Loan Report. Headliners Van Ginkel has found his return to Dutch football far more favourable than his stay at Stoke, featuring regularly, earning Champions League recognition, and weighing in with the sort of…
Two of Chelsea’s best and brightest youngsters caught the eye this past week in the land of the Loan Report as Andreas Christensen scored his third goal in Borussia Mönchengladbach colours whilst Dominic Solanke marked his return to action with a brace off the bench for Vitesse and Juan Cuadrado showed everyone what he’s capable of on the big European stage. Headliners Christensen has, of course, been a mainstay in…
The first goal in this week’s Loan Report belongs to Marko Marin, although it may end up being taken away from him upon further review. The second belongs to Jeremie Boga who is back in the good books at Rennes after a few recent struggles. We begin in Turkey… Headliners Marin is often the butt of many jokes and is typically held up as the poster boy for the less-successful…
We didn’t have quite as many goals this week but the one we can bring you belongs to Izzy Brown, and it was his first in senior professional football. Headliners Injuries have struck Vitesse down of late, including a long lay-off for Dominic Solanke, and so Brown has not only been able to enjoy a regular run of starts after his own spell on the sidelines, but on Sunday he…
The goals continued to come in a steady supply over the last seven days in the land of the Loan Report with a pair of midfielders adding to their respectable tallies for the season. We begin in midweek, where John Swift broke his duck at home for Brentford. Headliners Heading into their clash with Wolves at Griffin Park, Swift had scored four goals this season but they had all come…
With four more goals in this latest edition of the Loan Report we’ve now passed the 50 mark for the season. A pair of players struck their first efforts since the early autumn whilst another grabbed his fifth of the campaign, but we begin with one who scored for the first time in 2015-16. Headliners Reading hosted West Bromwich Albion in an FA Cup Fifth Round tie at the Madejski…
Three more goals take us closer to the milestone of fifty for the Chelsea loanee season to date, with two amongst them notching for the first time this campaign and one marking his maiden strike in professional football. We start with him. Headliners Charly Musonda caught the eye and then some on his Real Betis debut last weekend and continued to get people talking about him by scoring his first…
The Loan Report exploded into life this weekend with five goals and plenty of sparkling performances to round up for you. Let’s get straight to it. Headliners Andreas Christensen has earned rave reviews so far for his composed, seasoned displays at the heart of the Borussia Mönchengladbach defence since joining on a two-year loan last summer. Goalscoring has however rarely been his forte, with just five goals in his three…
There were no goals this week on the loan front but there have been a couple of key moves as the January transfer window gets underway, so we’ll dive straight in with a look at those. Headliners The most notable, perhaps, is Patrick Bamford’s temporary departure to Norwich City. Having struggled to make an impact at Crystal Palace in the first half of the season, the 22 year-old forward has…
